LNER Route: Leicester to Marylebone

Rugby Central Station: gcrcs9a

This close up of image 'gcrcs9' shows ex-ROD 2-8-0 class O4 / No 63805 in typical dirty condition and with a tender full of coal of dubious quality.

Number 63805 was built in May 1918 by the North British Loco Co for the ROD who allocated the running number 1905. The LNER gave it the running number 6221 and it was withdrawn from Gorton shed in November 1962 and scrapped in December 1962 at Gorton Works.
